Petra Nemcova

Nemcova was the cover girl for the 2003 edition of Sports Illustrated’s swimsuit issue. Nemcova is a survivor of the Thailand tsunami that struck in December of 2004. She suffered a broken pelvis and internal injuries but clung to the top of a palm tree for over eight hours before being rescued. So she’s pretty hard core for a Victoria’s Secret model.

Marisa Miller

Miller took home the #1 slot on Maxim’s Hot 100 this past year, but she’s best known for her work in SI’s swimsuit issues as well as her Victoria’s Secret campaigns. Quite possibly the most famous working model in the world right now.

Bar Refaeli

Refaeli is an Israeli model, probably better known for dating Leonardo DiCaprio. She caused some controversy recently when it came out that she evaded compulsory military service in Israel, saying “Why is it good to die for our country? What, isn’t it better to live in New York?”.

Adriana Lima

A Victoria’s Secret angel since 2000, Lima is also well known for being a spokeswoman for Maybelline, as well as her numerous magazine cover appearances.

Alessandra Ambrosio

Tyra Banks has anointed Ambrosio “The future of the modeling world” and it’s not too tough to see why. Actually had her ears pinned back when she was 11 years old, and has since sworn off plastic surgery after having numerous complications. Has made cameos on Entourage as well as the film Casino Royale.
